VALVE.

Specification of Letters ratent. Application filed'iuly 18, 1911. Serial No. 639,076.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I,- Fnnoniuon P. GLASS- Nnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Searchlight, in the county of Clark and State of Nevada,-have invented-new and use an Improvements in Valves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in valve mechanisms and particularly to a valve structure which is adapted to receive and transmit to any other mechanism lubricating material. 7 It is an object of the invention to provide a valve mechanism through which the parts of machinery or mechanism operated by steam, air or other pressure, may receive which itis' desired to pass to said mechanisms.

It-is also an object of the invention to provide a valve with-lubricating inlets which are normally closed when the valve is open and may be opened only by the'closing of said valve whereby lubricants may be introduced into piping or mechanism when pressures of any kind aremaintained.

- In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improved valve -mechanism forming the subject matter of this invention.

Fig. 2 is atop plan view of the same. Fig.

is a similar view showing the valve in its closed position and ready to receive a lu- The details and features of the invention will now be more particularly described, reference being had to the said drawing in which- I 1 indicates a valve casing, 2a valve or plug mounted therein, and 3 indicates a handle for turning said valve or plug. The casing 1 may be of any desired type and is particularly adapted to be connected with piping or machinery, its opposite ends'being open and adapted for such connection therewith.

The central portion of the casing 1 is formed with a conical valve seat or bore 4 in which thevalve proper or plug 2 is made to a washer 6 and a nut tension 5 upon which tightly holding the 7 may be placed, for

valve in position. The upper end of the said valve or plug projects a sufiicient distance above the casing 1, to receive the handle 3, the said plug being formed with an angular or squared portion 8 adapted to fit in a correspondingly shaped opening 9, formed in the end of the handle 3.

end of said valve or'plug 2 for securely holdmg the handle in place. The said casingv 1 is also provided with lateral projecting p01?- tions 12 and 13 in which are formed passages 14 and 15 adapted to receive lubricating material and direct it into the valve structure. 14.- and 15 tu'rn'inwardly and extend to the surface of the bore'a The valve 2 is thus in positionto close the said passages when it is turned to open communication through the casing 1.

The valve or plug 2 is provided with a port 16 of suitable size to establish a proper communication through the valve casing for steam,

controlled by the said valves. sages l4 and 15 are brought in-communication with the port 16 when the valve is closed air or'other materials which are to be The said pas- PatentedJune 11,1912.

transversely of the casing 1 as indicated in Fig. 4. When in this position lubricating materials may be directed through either one or both of the said passages 1i and 15 so as to run into the saidport 16 and when the valve is opened again the lubricant may be taken up by the steamrvair or other materials, and carried to chinery which it is desired to lubricate.

The. device 'is so constructed that the lubricating ports cannot be opened to receive the lubricant until the, valve is brought to its closed position. For this reason thehandle 3 is formed with an enlarged valve onthe parts of the magaging head 17 which is adapted toproject at the sides as at 18 so as to 'coverthe upper.

,ends of said passages l4 and 15 when the l eis in its open position. A similar projection. 19 is also provided uponthe said head 17 which is formed with an aperture.

2O that may be brought over eithenone of the openings 14 or 15 when it is desired to introduce a lubricant into the valve. In

order to bring the; openln'g 20'overthe said passages itis necessary-to turn the handle. 3 so that the valve is closed and there could therefore be no escape through said passages 5.

of thesteam, air or other pressure that is} controlled by the said valve mechanism. The device thus constitutes a safety valve mechanism through which parts of machinery may be readily lubricated at any time Without the danger of permitting pressure to escape.

What I claim-1s:

1. A valve mechanism, comprising a casing, a valve plug fitting therein, the said inner discharge ends oppositethe port of the turn'plug when the valve is closed, and means for closing the exterior entrance to said passages when the valve is open.

3; lubricating valve mechanism, comprising a casing having-a valve seat therein, and provided with lateral projections having lubricating passages extending through the same, and a handle for turning -.the valves,.having covering portions adapted .to close the said lubricating ports.

4:. A- lubricating valve comprising a 0515- ing, a valve fitting therein, the'said casing havinga lubricant inlet formed in its Walls and adapted to lead lubricants into the port of the valve, a handle for turning the valve,

and means carried thereby. for closing the lubricant passage when the valve is in opened position, the said closing means also having an opening adapted to be brought over the lubricant passage for admitting lubricant thereto.

In witness thatI claim the foregoing I .7
